I for one really love it and will probably make an alias to use for most of
my repos. With 'maint' branches (with topics) being worked on by one team and
'master' (with topics) being worked on by a different group, but all branches
generally checked out, tracked and touched by everyone sooner or later, I've
come to just ignore the "not fast-forward" error. I've never stopped loathing
it though, since git should just *know* that it doesn't fast-forward because
I haven't done anything and not because I've done something (and maybe
forgotten to push) and someone else has done something different, which would
actually be interesting for me to know.

So big thumbs up and three loud "hurrah"'s for this.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
